AI Hidden Camera & Bug Detector
If the room isn’t yours, it isn’t empty until you check.
How John uses it
This comes with me on the rare occasions I stay somewhere that isn’t the cabin. I run the RF sweep first, then the lens finder across the usual spots — smoke detector, outlets behind the bed, the HVAC vent across from the dresser, anything with a clear line of sight to the bed or the bathroom door. Takes about five minutes. Buys a full night of sleep.
At the cabin I run it every few months across the shed and the weather station — not because I expect to find anything, but because I want a baseline. If something new shows up on a sweep, I want to have been running sweeps long enough to know what new means.
Why John recommends it
Hidden cameras in short-term rentals and hotel rooms are not a conspiracy theory — they’re a recurring news story. A $40 scanner is less than a single night in a decent hotel, and it takes five minutes to clear a room. If you travel, this earns its place in the bag on the first trip.
